Comparison
Percy is a great tool if you have a CI pipeline and want to catch regressions before they merge. Visidaily is a better fit if you need to monitor live sites with zero code and no pipeline dependency.
Percy's core use case is catching visual regressions in pull requests, before code merges. It integrates with your test suite and runs during CI builds. This is powerful — but it means zero value if you don't have a CI pipeline, or if you need to monitor a site you don't own or control.
Visidaily doesn't touch your codebase. It hits your live URL on a schedule, takes a screenshot, and compares it to the last known-good baseline. That's it. Works on any site: WordPress, Webflow, Squarespace, a custom app behind Cloudflare, or a client site you only have FTP access to.
Percy prices by screenshot volume, which can grow quickly as you add more pages and viewports. Visidaily charges per site on a flat monthly rate — predictable costs regardless of how many viewports or checks you run.
